[Verse 1]
I'm still here
In a conversation I don’t want to be in
And I don't care
About how drunk you're going to get this evening
But I still listen
Pretend I don’t wanna go home
Even though we both know
I would rather be in a burning house, in a burning house
'Cause at least then I can be myself, I can be myself
Sometimes I just wish I was someone else
'Cause then I wouldn't have to be here right now
[Chorus]
Next time just know I'll be there
Just send the invitation
Next time just know I'll be there
I need the validation
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
The invitation
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
The invitation
[Verse 2]
Walking home
The conversation lonely as the night falls
But I don't know
Why I hate the crowds, but I hate being alone
But I still listen
Pretend that I'm okay on my own
Even though we both know
See I’d rather be in a burning house, in a burning house
Truth is I don’t know where to be myself, where to be myself
Sometimes I just wish I was somebody else
'Cause then I wouldn’t have to figure this out
[Chorus]
Next time just know I'll be there
Just send the invitation
Next time just know I'll be there
I need the validation
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
The invitation
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
The invitation
[Hook]
I, I, I just wanna go home, I wanna go home
But I, I, I don't want to be alone
I, I, I just wanna go home, I wanna go home
But I, I, I don’t want to be alone
[Chorus]
Next time just know I'll be there
Just send the invitation
Next time just know I'll be there
I need the validation
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
The invitation
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
The invitation
